1H-Benzotriazole is an anticorrosive agent, which is useful in aircraft deicing and antifreeze fluids. It is also employed in dishwasher detergents. Further, it is used as a restrainer in photographic emulsions and also useful as a reagent for the determination of silver in analytical chemistry. It also serves as a corrosion inhibitor in the atmosphere and underwater. Further, it is utilized in the synthesis of amines from glyoxal.

1H-Benzotriazole (BT) is a chemical used in a wide variety of industrial, commercial, and consumer products. It main used as an anticorrosive in metalworking, in art restoration, and as a tarnish remover and protective coating in the construction industry.

In the aircraft industry, 1H-benzotriazole and tolyl benzotriazole are found to be the primary agents in most types of aircraft deicing/antiicing fluid (ADAFs).

Benzotriazole is also used as a component of aircraft deicing fluid, pickling inhibitor in boiler scale removal, restrainer, developer and antifogging agent in photographic emulsions, corrosion inhibitor for copper, chemical intermediate for dyes, in pharmaceuticals, and as fungicide. (HSDB 1998).

Benzotriazole(BTA), ethylenediamine tetraaceticacid(EDTA), and potassium iodide(KI) were used for preparing the polishing slurries.
